I don't think we'll be shipping water to the moon.

Fortunately it has plenty.

Moreover, it's easier to ship energy sources (e.g. nuclear, which today are small heat generators) and use that energy to get to the water that's there.

I wouldn't ve surprised if there have been numerous studies of how to get full-scale nuclear generation going on the moon, by launching a reactor in modules. I anyone has a link, I'm curious to see what approaches have been considered regarding launching a core, safely.
